It’s expensive but you get what you paid for. If your life depends on it, it’s 100% worth the money.

great for stagehands nice and lightweight lanyard

Great product at a great price. Got them when they were on sale and purchased two. Love them short lanyards.

As with any lanyard from DBI Sala and at this price point, build quality and materials are top notch. Why only 2 stars then? The rebar hooks are EXTREMELY difficult to operate. The design is horrible. You can be sure these gates will never open accidentally, because it takes a minor miracle to get them open intentionally. There is a complex system of cams and slides in the gate that does a great job interlocking the gate to the hook.. But makes gate lock release not smooth at all (despite trying to lube it). The lock release is positioned in a way that makes it very awkward to operate. Even slight pressure on the gate causes the gate lock release to stick, so you basically have to squeeze the lock release without putting any pressure on the gate itself. This requires a very low and awkward grip on the hook, that doesn't give you much leverage to open the gate once the gate lock is released. Just very awkward to use, not something I want while climbing.
